Still having fun experimenting with off-kilter perspective. The one picture I really liked, but then was disappointed with when I downloaded, was the corridor picture. I didn't realize the focus was so blurry. I may attempt to get this picture again, tomorrow, trying to figure out how to get the focus right.

Edited to add: Re-did the corridor picture the next day. It turned out much better:

Unless you have a lot of light and the proper lens, the entire corridor is unlikely to be in focus. Suggestion: Focus the camera at a light about 1/4 to 1/2 way down (point so the middle of the screen is where you want to focus, hold the shutter button halfway down to set the autofocus, and point the camera down the hall without letting go of the button, then push it all the way).

I like the white flower pic, since it uses the angle to capture the blossoms.

I actually kind of like the blurry effect - this probably doesn't sound like a compliment, but it's like you synthesized what it might be like to be a bit tipsy, or to have forgotten your glasses. Or your morning coffee. ;) It's kind of neat.

I've also been really impressed by all the public art in your city - very nice!

I've been posting a series on Hidden Minneapolis in my LJ which you may like. Amid the other stuff. More to come.

I went back through your journal until about mid-April. Fantastic pics of "Hidden Minneapolis" - you live in a neat city (winter weather aside ;) ). Thanks for pointing them out to me.

Why am I not surprised that Fiona has posture that I could kill for?

Umm, Peg? Did you frame the photo of "The Dancers" exactly that way on purpose? Because either you are a heck of a photog (which we already know) or I am too pervy for my own good (which is also entirely possible). 0.0 Actually, I blame the full moon.

Actually, one of my guilty pleasures each year is when they wash "The Dancers. It's so funny to see a crew of workman crawling all over that sculpture with long-handled scrubbing brushes.
